Show Information

Unfortunately, I wasn’t diligent about keeping records of show information the 1st 2 years (Fall 1993 to Spring 1995). This was partly because I didn’t have much of a collection to play, I used home-made tapes a lot, & I recorded several shows, so I didn’t think I needed a written record; though, hindsight 20/20…. That noted, I found a few notations, most of which are too illegible to completely transcribe. Notes I could completely read follow.

09/1993 1ST SHOW

I was very nervous opening, especially when I spoke into the microphone to introduce the 1st song: Alabama’s “Song Of The South”. I’m pretty sure I was nervous up until the very end of that 1st show, but I quickly became very comfortable in the booth & found myself having so much fun with it that I wished I could host more radio shows during the week, something I wasn’t able to fulfill until the spring semester of my senior year.
